Episode 151 - Character Archetypes: The Magician

In this episode, the two Matts do a clean sweep of all their spare skit ideas they hastily came up with in one episode, compare each other's handwriting and penmanship, have a plan to ensure they don't keep releasing episodes a week late like this one again, and talk about the character archetype of The Magician in the last of our set of the first batch of twelve character archetypes. What makes The Magician, well, The Magician? What's the difference between this and our previous archetype, The Sage? Do they always have to literally use magic? Will Matt David ever do a good joke with his little "ba-dum tss!" he likes to throw out occasionally, or even really a joke at all? We discuss it all, while enacting the wizardry that is modern podcasting, and talk about Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, and Doctor Who.
